00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:08.230
Summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari,

00:00:08.230 --> 00:00:12.820
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:17.739
Surah Al 'Imran.

00:00:17.739 --> 00:00:22.820
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:28.820
"They rejoice in glad tidings of favor from Allah and bounty,"

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:35.780
“They rejoice because of favour from Allah and kindness, and that Allah wasteth not the wage of the believers.” (3:171)

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:39.780
Rejoicing in the immense honor He has bestowed upon them,

00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:43.780
And in the abundant grace and magnificent reward He has showered upon them,

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:49.780
And because Allah does not invalidate the reward of whoever believes His Messenger and follows him,

00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:52.780
And acts in accordance with what he brought from Allah.

00:00:52.780 --> 00:01:02.289
“As for those who heard the call of Allah and His messenger after the harm befell them (in the fight); for such of them as do right and ward off (evil), there is great reward.” (3:172)

00:01:02.289 --> 00:01:08.290
“As for those who heard the call of Allah and His messenger after the harm befell them (in the fight); for such of them as do right and ward off (evil), there is great reward.” (3:172)

00:01:08.290 --> 00:01:12.959
“They rejoice because of favour from Allah and kindness, and that Allah wasteth not the wage of the believers.” (3:171)

00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.959
Those who responded to Allah and the Messenger after being afflicted with wounds and injury;

00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.959
For those among them who were mindful of Allah and feared Him,

00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.959
Fulfilling His obligatory duties and obeying Him in His commands and prohibitions,

00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.959
There will be a magnificent reward.

00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:43.540
“Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!” (3:173)

00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:54.540
“Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!” (3:173)

00:01:54.540 --> 00:02:02.079
Those to whom the people said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you troops to confront you,

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.079
So fear them, for you are no match for them."

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.080
Yet that only increased them in their unshakeable certainty,

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:16.080
And it did not dissuade them from the course the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had commanded them

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.080
To pursue.

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.080
Rather, they marched on until they attained Allah's good pleasure through it,

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.080
Saying, with firm reliance upon Allah, "Allah is sufficient for us,

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.849
And He is the best Guardian for whoever relies on Him and places himself in His care."

00:02:29.849 --> 00:02:39.849
“So they returned with grace and favour from Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.” (3:174)

00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:43.849
"No harm touched them."

00:02:43.849 --> 00:02:52.550
“So they returned with grace and favour from Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.” (3:174)

00:02:52.550 --> 00:02:57.550
Thus, those who responded to Allah and the Messenger after being afflicted with wounds returned

00:02:57.550 --> 00:03:01.550
From marching in pursuit of their enemy to Hamra' al-Asad,

00:03:01.550 --> 00:03:05.550
Safe and sound by the grace of their Lord, having met no enemy,

00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:10.550
And earning profits through the trade they engaged in there,

00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:12.550
In addition to the immense reward they earned.

00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:16.550
No harm or injury from their enemy touched them there,

00:03:16.550 --> 00:03:19.550
And they pleased Allah by their deed,

00:03:19.550 --> 00:03:24.550
By obeying His Messenger in his call to pursue the retreating enemy,

00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:26.550
And by their steadfast obedience.

00:03:26.550 --> 00:03:31.550
And Allah is full of bounty and benevolence toward them by turning their enemy away,

00:03:31.550 --> 00:03:34.550
Along with countless other favors He conferred upon them,

00:03:34.550 --> 00:03:38.550
Immense favors recognized by those among His creation upon whom He bestows them.

00:03:38.550 --> 00:03:46.539
“It is only the devil who would make (men) fear his partisans. Fear them not; fear Me, if ye are true believers.” (3:175)

00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:56.539
“It is only the devil who would make (men) fear his partisans. Fear them not; fear Me, if ye are true believers.” (3:175)

00:03:58.819 --> 00:04:01.819
That statement made to you, O believers,

00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:04.819
“Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!” (3:173)

00:04:04.819 --> 00:04:07.819
Whereby they tried to frighten you with your enemy's gathered forces,

00:04:07.819 --> 00:04:09.819
Was entirely the work of Satan,

00:04:09.819 --> 00:04:12.819
Cast onto the tongues of those who said that to you,

00:04:12.819 --> 00:04:16.819
Intimidating you with his allies among the polytheists—

00:04:16.819 --> 00:04:19.819
Abu Sufyan and his comrades from Quraysh—

00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:22.819
So that you would dread them and cowardly retreat before them.

00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:25.819
So do not fear the polytheists, O believers,

00:04:25.819 --> 00:04:28.819
Nor let their formidable numbers overwhelm you;

00:04:28.819 --> 00:04:31.819
But rather fear Me alone, not the polytheists,

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:33.819
Nor any of My creation,

00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:35.819
If you truly believe in My Messenger

00:04:35.819 --> 00:04:38.819
And in what he brought to you from Me.

00:04:38.819 --> 00:04:45.050
“Let not their conduct grieve thee, who run easily to disbelief, for lo! they injure Allah not at all. It is Allah's Will to assign them no portion in the Hereafter, and theirs will be an awful doom.” (3:176)

00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:51.050
"Indeed, they will never harm Allah at all."

00:04:51.050 --> 00:04:55.050
“Let not their conduct grieve thee, who run easily to disbelief, for lo! they injure Allah not at all. It is Allah's Will to assign them no portion in the Hereafter, and theirs will be an awful doom.” (3:176)

00:04:55.050 --> 00:04:57.050
In the Hereafter,

00:04:57.050 --> 00:05:01.050
"And for them is a tremendous punishment."

00:05:01.050 --> 00:05:03.720
Do not be grieved, O Muhammad,

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.720
By the disbelief of those who hasten into disbelief,

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.720
Turning back on their heels from among the people of hypocrisy;

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.720
For they will never harm Allah

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.720
By their hastening into disbelief in the least.

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.720
Allah intends to leave for them—

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.720
Those who hasten into disbelief—

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.720
No share in the reward of the Hereafter;

00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.720
Therefore, He forsook them,

00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.720
Leaving them to plunge into it,

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.720
And they shall have a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter,

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.720
Which is the torment of the Fire.

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.579
“Those who purchase disbelief at the price of faith harm Allah not at all, but theirs will be a painful doom.” (3:177)

00:05:38.579 --> 00:05:42.579
"They will never harm Allah at all,"

00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:46.579
"They will never harm Allah at all,"

00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:50.579
"And for them is a painful punishment."

00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:55.259
Indeed, those who purchased disbelief at the price of faith

00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:57.259
And chose disbelief in Allah

00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:00.259
And His Messenger in exchange for faith

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:02.259
Will never harm Allah through their disbelief

00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:05.259
And apostasy from their faith in the slightest;

00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:08.259
Rather, they only harm themselves

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:11.259
By bringing upon themselves an agonizing punishment.

00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:15.699
And let not those who disbelieve think

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:20.699
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)

00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:26.699
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:31.699
"And for them is a humiliating punishment."

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:35.339
Do not think, O Muhammad, that those who disbelieve—

00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:38.339
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)

00:06:38.339 --> 00:06:41.339
We only prolong their lifespans

00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:43.339
So that they accumulate more sins,

00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:45.339
Increasing their misdeeds and multiplying them;

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:49.339
And for these who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger,

00:06:49.339 --> 00:06:53.660
There will be a humiliating and degrading punishment.

00:06:53.660 --> 00:06:56.660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

00:06:56.660 --> 00:06:59.660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:03.660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:07.660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:17.660
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:20.660
Whom He wills.

00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:23.660
"So believe in Allah and His messengers."

00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:27.660
"And if you believe and fear Allah,"

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:32.529
"Then for you is a magnificent reward."

00:07:32.529 --> 00:07:34.529
Allah was not to leave the believers

00:07:34.529 --> 00:07:36.529
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

00:07:36.529 --> 00:07:39.529
In a state where the true believer is indistinguishable from the hypocrite among you,

00:07:39.529 --> 00:07:42.529
Such that one cannot be known from the other,

00:07:42.529 --> 00:07:46.529
Until He separates the hypocrite who conceals disbelief

00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:49.529
From the sincere believer of genuine faith

00:07:49.529 --> 00:07:51.529
Through trials and tribulations,

00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:53.529
Just as He distinguished between them on the day of Uhud

00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:55.529
Upon meeting the enemy.

00:07:55.529 --> 00:07:57.529
“It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.” (3:179)

00:07:57.529 --> 00:08:00.529
The inner secrets of the hearts of His servants,

00:08:00.529 --> 00:08:02.529
Such that you could identify the believer among them

00:08:02.529 --> 00:08:04.529
From the hypocrite and the disbeliever;

00:08:04.529 --> 00:08:06.529
Rather, He distinguishes between them

00:08:06.529 --> 00:08:08.529
Through trials and tests.

00:08:08.529 --> 00:08:11.529
However, He chooses from His messengers whom He wills,

00:08:11.529 --> 00:08:14.529
Selecting him and disclosing to him some of what lies

00:08:14.529 --> 00:08:16.529
Within the hearts of certain people,

00:08:16.529 --> 00:08:18.529
Through His revelation and message.

00:08:18.529 --> 00:08:21.589
So if you believe in whom I have chosen from My messengers

00:08:21.589 --> 00:08:24.589
And fear your Lord by obeying Him

00:08:24.589 --> 00:08:26.589
In whatever He has commanded you,

00:08:26.589 --> 00:08:28.589
And in whatever He has forbidden you,

00:08:28.589 --> 00:08:30.589
Then through that faith of yours

00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:32.590
And your reverence of your Lord,

00:08:32.590 --> 00:08:35.039
You will have a magnificent reward.

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.039
"And let not think"

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.039
"Those who withhold"

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.039
"That which Allah has given them"

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.039
"Of His bounty"

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.039
"That it is better for them;"

00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.039
“And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (3:180)

00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.039
"They will be collared by"

00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.039
"What they withheld"

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.039
"On the Day of Resurrection."

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:58.039
"And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth,"

00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.039
"And Allah, of what you do,"

00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.039
"Is All-Aware."

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.029
“And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (3:180)

00:09:07.029 --> 00:09:09.029
From what Allah has granted them in this worldly life

00:09:09.029 --> 00:09:11.029
Of wealth,

00:09:11.029 --> 00:09:13.029
Such that they do not discharge the due right of Allah

00:09:13.029 --> 00:09:15.029
That He made obligatory upon them therein,

00:09:15.029 --> 00:09:17.029
Namely the zakat,

00:09:17.029 --> 00:09:19.029
That it is good for them before Allah on the Day of Resurrection;

00:09:19.029 --> 00:09:21.029
“And let not those who hoard up that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah's is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed of what ye do.” (3:180)

00:09:21.029 --> 00:09:23.029
With Him in the Hereafter.

00:09:23.029 --> 00:09:25.029
Allah will make what was withheld by

00:09:25.029 --> 00:09:27.029
Those who refuse to pay zakat

00:09:27.029 --> 00:09:29.029
A tight collar around their necks,

00:09:29.029 --> 00:09:31.029
Resembling the known shackles.

00:09:31.029 --> 00:09:33.029
Indeed, He is the Ever-Living Who never dies,

00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:35.029
The Everlasting,

00:09:35.029 --> 00:09:37.029
Remaining after the passing of all

00:09:37.029 --> 00:09:39.029
His creation and after they perish,

00:09:39.029 --> 00:09:41.029
When their possessions vanish from them,

00:09:41.029 --> 00:09:43.029
And all returns to Allah,

00:09:43.029 --> 00:09:45.029
The inheritances of these and all others

00:09:45.029 --> 00:09:47.029
Among His creation.

00:09:47.029 --> 00:09:49.029
He is Possessor of thorough knowledge and insight,

00:09:49.029 --> 00:09:51.029
Encompassing all of that,

00:09:51.029 --> 00:09:53.029
Compensating each of them fully

00:09:53.029 --> 00:09:55.539
According to what they rightfully deserve.

00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:57.539
"Allah has certainly heard"

00:09:57.539 --> 00:09:59.539
"The statement of those who said,"

00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:01.539
"'Indeed, Allah"

00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:03.539
"Is poor, while we"

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.539
"Are rich.'"

00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:07.539
"We will record what"

00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:09.539
"They said and their killing of"

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:11.539
"The prophets"

00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:13.539
"Without right,"

00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:15.539
"And We will say,"

00:10:15.539 --> 00:10:17.539
"And We will say,"

00:10:17.539 --> 00:10:19.539
"'Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.'"

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:21.539
"That is for what"

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:23.539
"Your hands have put forth,"

00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:25.539
"And because Allah"

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:27.539
"Is not unjust"

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:29.539
"To His servants."

00:10:29.539 --> 00:10:32.759
Allah has certainly heard

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.759
The words of the Jews:

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.759
"Indeed, Allah is in need of us,

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:38.759
While we are free of any need of Him."

00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.759
We will record the slander they uttered

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.759
And their killing of their prophets

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.759
Without any justification,

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.759
And We will say to them:

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.759
"Taste the torment of a consuming,

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.759
Blazing Fire because of what your hands

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.759
Committed and earned

00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.759
During the days of your life

00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.269
In this world."

00:10:57.269 --> 00:10:59.269
"Those who said, 'Indeed,"

00:10:59.269 --> 00:11:01.269
"Allah has taken a covenant"

00:11:01.269 --> 00:11:03.269
"From us not to believe"

00:11:03.269 --> 00:11:05.269
"In a messenger until"

00:11:05.269 --> 00:11:07.269
"He brings us an offering"

00:11:07.269 --> 00:11:09.269
"Until he brings us"

00:11:09.269 --> 00:11:11.269
"An offering"

00:11:11.269 --> 00:11:13.269
"Consumed"

00:11:13.269 --> 00:11:15.529
"By fire.'"

00:11:15.529 --> 00:11:17.529
"Say, 'There already"

00:11:17.529 --> 00:11:19.529
"Came"

00:11:19.529 --> 00:11:21.529
"Messengers"

00:11:21.529 --> 00:11:23.529
"Before me"

00:11:23.529 --> 00:11:25.529
"With clear proofs"

00:11:25.529 --> 00:11:27.529
"And with that which you said;"

00:11:27.529 --> 00:11:29.529
"With clear proofs"

00:11:29.529 --> 00:11:31.529
"And with that which you said,"

00:11:31.529 --> 00:11:33.529
"So why did you kill them,"

00:11:33.529 --> 00:11:35.529
"If you should be"

00:11:35.529 --> 00:11:38.139
"Truthful?'"

00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:40.139
Those who claimed:

00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:42.139
"Allah has enjoined upon us"

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:44.139
"And conveyed to us"

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:46.139
"In His scriptures and through the tongues of His messengers,"

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:48.139
"Not to believe in any messenger"

00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:50.139
in what he claims to have brought

00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:52.139
from Allah,

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:54.139
of commands, prohibitions, and the like,

00:11:54.139 --> 00:11:56.139
until he brings us

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:58.139
an offering consumed by fire."

00:11:58.139 --> 00:12:00.139
For the consumption of the sacrifice by fire

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:02.139
in that era

00:12:02.139 --> 00:12:04.200
was proof of Allah's acceptance from him.

00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.200
Say to them:

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.200
"Messengers have already come to you before me

00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.200
with what you claimed

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.200
to be conclusive proof against you,

00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.200
yet you killed them,

00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.200
even though you acknowledged

00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.200
that what they brought you

00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.200
of such signs was indeed

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.200
a conclusive proof against you—

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.200
if you are truthful that

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.200
Allah commanded you

00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.200
only to believe in whoever brought you,

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.200
among His messengers, an offering consumed

00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.200
by fire as a proof

00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:34.970
of his prophethood."

00:12:44.970 --> 00:12:46.970
Let it not grieve you, O Muhammad,

00:12:46.970 --> 00:12:48.970
that these people lie

00:12:48.970 --> 00:12:50.970
and fabricate falsehood against their Lord;

00:12:50.970 --> 00:12:52.970
for if they reject you,

00:12:52.970 --> 00:12:56.019
their forebears likewise rejected

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:58.019
those who came to them with clear proofs

00:12:58.019 --> 00:13:00.019
that eliminated all excuse,

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:02.019
and with every scripture,

00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:04.019
having brought the Torah and the Gospel,

00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:06.019
which is the illuminating Book—

00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:08.019
that sheds light and endures,

00:13:08.019 --> 00:13:10.019
continuously enduring,

00:13:10.019 --> 00:13:12.019
ever lasting,

00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:14.019
ever remaining—

00:13:14.019 --> 00:13:16.019
that sheds light and clarifies the truth

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:18.019
for whoever finds it obscured,

00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:20.500
making it utterly clear.

00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:22.500
"Every soul

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:24.500
shall taste

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:26.500
death,

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:28.500
and you will only be

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:30.500
paid in full

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:32.500
your rewards on the Day of

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.500
Resurrection.

00:13:34.500 --> 00:13:36.500
So whoever is drawn away

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:38.500
from the Fire

00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:40.500
and admitted into Paradise

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:42.500
has truly triumphed.

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:44.500
And the life of this world is nothing

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:46.500
but the enjoyment

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:48.500
of delusion."

00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:51.179
Every

00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:53.179
single soul among them shall taste

00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:55.179
death, and shall be repaid in full

00:13:55.179 --> 00:13:57.179
for the recompense of its deeds:

00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:59.179
if good, then good;

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:01.269
and if evil, then evil.

00:14:01.269 --> 00:14:03.269
So whoever is removed and distanced from the Fire

00:14:03.269 --> 00:14:05.269
has attained salvation and secured

00:14:05.269 --> 00:14:07.269
his ultimate desire.

00:14:07.269 --> 00:14:09.269
For the pleasures and desires of this worldly life are nothing

00:14:09.269 --> 00:14:11.269
but a fleeting gratification

00:14:11.269 --> 00:14:13.269
granted to you by delusion

00:14:13.269 --> 00:14:15.269
and vanishing deception,

00:14:15.269 --> 00:14:17.269
which possesses no reality

00:14:17.269 --> 00:14:19.269
when put to the test.

00:14:19.269 --> 00:14:21.269
Thus, you revel in whatever pleasures

00:14:21.269 --> 00:14:23.269
delusion has granted you in your worldly life,

00:14:23.269 --> 00:14:25.269
yet it only rebounds upon you

00:14:25.269 --> 00:14:27.269
with tragedies, calamities,

00:14:27.269 --> 00:14:29.269
and afflictions;

00:14:29.269 --> 00:14:32.940
so do not lean towards this fleeting world.

00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:34.940
In summary, from the Tafsir

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:36.940
of al-Tabari:
